Motivation
Developers might want to use ARB files to avoid risks of technical debt. ARB is a standard set by the Flutter team.
Developer Experience
Support ARB files similar to how other file formats are supported.
Since ARB files don't have nesting, slang shouldn't nest either.
Implementation
Transpile to a slang-native JSON format as an intermediate.
Translations only having one plural should be easy to convert but if a translation has multiple plural parts, then slang might need to use "Linked Translations" to combine multiple parts. This is how the migrate script currently works when converting ARB to JSON.
